Abstract
Despite the growth of heart, liver and bone marrow transplantation, the kidney continues to be the organ most frequently transplanted. Over the years psychiatrists have been active in attempting to understand the adaptational tasks of organ donors and recipients and in evaluating and treating transplant patients. A body of knowledge with regard to renal transplantation has developed. What follows is an update of psychiatric aspects of renal transplantation.Keywords
